What exactly is Social Shindig?

Social Shindig is a welcoming space for marketers where we can get the support and answers we need to do our jobs better and feel less alone in this crazy game we call marketing. This intimate meetup with Anne is where marketing directors can ask questions and get the high-level answers they need to wow their bosses.

​We'll have a 45-minute informal discussion about a different topic each month. Let's turn our cameras on and get to know each other!

Up Next: Data Analysis in an AI World

Everyone’s using AI differently, and we've barely scratched the surface of its capabilities. This month, we’re bringing in fellow agency leaders who are using AI in interesting ways so we can all get a little smarter. 

Ian Anderson Gray, Will Rico, and Kristian Downer will share how they weave AI into real workflows, identify where it adds true value, and where human discernment still matters most. You'll hear what's working inside their agencies, what they've tested (and tossed), and how they approach AI with cautious curiosity. Their insights will provide you with a clearer understanding of how to use these tools confidently — and how to avoid some of the biggest mistakes marketers make.

If you're using AI in your work, or planning to, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Then we'll get into the good stuff.

You’ll learn:

• The capabilities & challenges of using AI with data
• What Large Language Models (LLMs) can do
• What they cannot do
• Why AI won't necessarily tell you what it can’t do 😬
• How different leaders like Ian, Will, and Kristian are using AI tools + automation platforms inside their agencies
• What you need for accurate analysis

Why It Matters:

AI is a powerful tool--but it has limitations. Understanding those limitations can empower you to leverage AI in ways that enhance your productivity and elevate the quality of your work. 

This session will help clarify what's possible so you can make decisions with confidence, not guesswork. If you want to stay ahead of the curve and avoid the pitfalls everyone else is encountering, you'll want to be in this room.

Come ready to ask anything and leave with fresh ideas, clarity, and a reliable workflow to impress your boss.
